The short story "The Story Of An Hour", by Kate Chopin, uses realism as a literary style. This means that it was presented "as is" and focuses on imagery, accurate representation of the setting, and the character itself. One realistic element is how Mrs. Louise Mallard is being treated by those around her - in that time period, it was common for women to be seen as fragile, "Knowing that Mrs. Mallard was afflicted with a heart trouble, great care was taken to break to her as gently as possible the news of her husband's death".
Answer:
Past perfect progressive
Explanation:
The past perfect continuous tense (also known as the past perfect progressive tense) shows that an action that started in the past continued up until another time in the past. The past perfect progressive tense is constructed using: <em><u>had been </u></em>+ the <em><u>verb's present participle</u></em> <em>(root + -ing).</em>
So the general form of past perfect progressive/continuous is:
<em>Had +been+ verb +</em><em>ing</em><em>.</em><em> </em>
